Cup StavRate

Any player has the right to participate in the cup. To do this, you need to confirm your participation by making a forecast for the "application" round.
All bets in the StavRate Cup are closed for editing after the start of the first match for which the participant made his prediction.
Each round of the Cup, except the final and the game for the 3rd place, is held in 2 meetings, the sum of which determines the winner of the pair. The final round takes place in 1 game.
Criteria for determining the winner of the pair based on the results of each playoff round:
- Amount of scored points;
- In case of a draw, success percentage in the current Сup;
- Number of correctly predicted scores in the current Cup;
- Ranking of the Cup for all seasons;
- Blind draw.
If any of the matches added to the bet were postponed, the match can be replaced with another one no later than 3 days before the start of the first of the bet matches. Otherwise, the postponed match is removed from the bet.
If any of the bet matches did not take place or were not completed during the day, then the match is removed from the bet, regardless of the circumstances.
A round is considered to have taken place if 6 or more matches have been played.

After the "declaration" round, all prognosticators who applied for the tournament are distributed among different cup grids (independent tournaments).
The maximum number of players in one grid is 64. Accordingly, the maximum early stage of the Cup is 1/32.
The number of parallel cups (N) is equal to the number of registered players divided by 64.
For the total number of participants to be a multiple of the number 2 (64, 32, etc.), the necessary number of "sweets" can be added to the participants, which are sent in pairs to the most successful forecasters according to the results of the declared tour.
Further, the N best players based on the results of the "declaration" round are sent to each of the cups in turn, until all players are distributed.
In each of the cups, one by one, the best and the worst in the declared round are selected and a pair of participants is formed. The formed pairs are automatically sent to the left and right branches of the tournament table.

The winners of each of the previous season's cups for the next season get the right to compete for the Super Cup!
If necessary, to supplement the required number of participants, bonus access to the Super Cup ("wild card") can be obtained by the best cup players of the previous season who did not win a medal.
With a large number of players, it is possible to hold several parallel Super Cups.
A place in the next drawing of the Super Cup is reserved only by its prize-winners.
